In the classic Mordru two parter in Adventure, Supes, Mon, Lu & Shady flee to Smallville in the 20th Century. All four of them hid as "civilians". Superboy, of course, becomes his alter ego "Clark Kent", but what names did the other three use and who were they supposed to be?

Hmmm! I really didn't think this was that tough a question. Maybe it's becasue it's the weekend. I'll give it one more day before declaring the board stumped.

Mon-El was Bob Cobb, traveling brush salesman.
Duo Damsel was Marie Elkins and Shadow Lass was Betsy Norcross, but I don't remember their cover stories...I think one of them was a cousin of the Police Chief's wife? Was the other an exchange student perhaps?...but I don't remember which was which.

Good enough Chaim. Lu was Marie Elkins a supposed daughter of a cousin of Mrs. Parker. She claimed that her mother had written to tell the Parkers that "Marie" was coming to visit.

Shady was Betsy Norcross an exchange student who's arrangements had been confused which caused her to not have a place to stay. She claimed the school sent her to the Lang's hoping that they would put her up.

Mon of course to on his standard alter ego, Bob Cobb, traveling brush salesman and cousin of Clark Kent which he used whenever he visited Smallville.

You're up next Chaim!

What 30th-century villain routinely used robot duplicates of himself or herself?

Doctor Doom? No wait... (actually, it'd be cool to see Dr Doom go against the Legion)

I'll take a wild guess and say Pulsar Stargrave (I almost said Computo, but that can't be it, can it?)

No, not Pulsar Stargrave.

Think Adventure-era, boys and girls (and kids, lads and lasses with the odd damsel thrown in).

Starfinger?

Mantis Marlo?

Hmm... Nardo used android duplicates, but I'm not thinking of anybody who uses robots, other than Lex Luthor, who probably doesn't count as a 30th century villain.

And Mantis Morlo used "Chemoid" duplicates of himself...

I forgot about the Chemoid dupes. That's probably the right answer.

Nardo's the one I was thinking of. I wasn't distinguishong between androids and robots.

Take it away, Eryk!

Who was Carol Domblewski?

Blackhawk's sister?

Sounds like she could have been an old girlfriend of Chuck (Bouncing Boy) Taine

Author of the acclaimed text "Grammar for Writing" used at Legion Academy for all first year Cadets.

It's true! I swear!

See the proof here!

Digression follow-up: A Mother Box was also one of C.O.M.P.U.T.O.'s primary components. It was borrowed from Metron, but we never found out if it got returned to Metron ...

Okay, here's a hint: She dated John Alvarez.

This was Dream Girl in a former life in the *shudder* dreaded Dr. Mayavale story.

That's it, Lance!

OK, I'm about out of here for the weekend, so away we go...

Name 5 20th (or 21st) century villains the Legion has battled in the 30th (or 31st) century.

1) Lex Luthor
2) Professor Ivo
3) Ra's Al Ghul
4) Darkseid
5) Mordru (if you accept his retconned origin)

Well seeing as Lancesrealm is gone for the week-end, I will assume that I can just go ahead and ask the next question.

When Ayla impersonated Lightning Lad, how was she dicovered to be an imposter?

Sun Boy noticed she had no Adam's apple. He also noticed that the back of her neck was not tan, as if she had had long hair but had had it cut.

Ok, Quislet came up with 4 answers to my pevious question I had not thought of. So...

Name 4 more 20th (or 21st) century villains the Legion has battled in the 30th (or 31st) century - besides the ones Quislet has listed.
